Re: NeXT catching up to Mac: Lets face it. The ROMs and the System are Apple's family jewels. Now NeXT has a rather potent set themselves (did I really say that?). The price of a truly sexy computer just HAS to drop. Mac has a nice harem of applications surrounding it, something that NeXT lacks. Meanwhile, while we know what both companies are, NeXT seems less prone to haggle over price. I say "guard yourself, Apple" now that NeXT has turned pro.
